I have a song from which I want to create a new file with only the first 35
seconds of the present file in it and then repeat that a number of times.In
other words, have those 35 seconds repeat maybe 5 times and then burn that
file.

I know how to burn a file, just not how to shorten it only to the beginning
35 seconds and not the whole 2minutes 50 seconds.

Sure with specialty software like Sound Forge or one of the *many* other solutions.

You need an audio editor. One may have been packaged with the sound card,
as was the case here (Creative Wave Studio - with a SoundBlaster card).
Or these utilities are available via the Net; search Google.

With said utility one can cut or copy the desired portion of a WAV file,
then insert it multiple times in a new file. The file can then be converted
to an MP3, WMA or other file format if desired (to reduce size), using
conversion tools also available on the Net.
 
$150 is a bit too much for a 1 time solution.
What about some simple freeware?

Google is your friend :-)

Hey, I post Sound Forge and you post Source Forge -- I love it ! :-)
 
Assuming Windows, use the Windows Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe) to cut
and paste as needed. Or search download.com for wav editors that are a
bit more capable.
 
Thanks a lot. I went to the web sites and downloaded 2 programs. Seem to
work quite well after some hour long learning experience though.

Great advice, thanks.
